This ground-breaking collection of essays tackles the philosophical
issues at play in cosmology, physics, mathematics, and
neuroscience. The book considers topics such as the presence of
ontology in cosmological theory and physics. It also weighs the
philosophical issues connected with mathematical method, the
neuroscience of emotions, and evolutionary anthropology. The
contributions look at structuralism in the Platonic philosophy of
science and the issue of knowledge and faith. This book is a must
read for anyone interested in the philosophy of science and the
increasingly blurred borders between the two.
This collection of essays assesses the origins of various
rule-based systems, including, but not limited to, morality,
rationality, and justice from the perspectives of both philosophy
and psychology. The reader will learn about diverse cognitive and
neurocognitive phenomena that are responsible for the emergence of
normative orders, such as imitation, time preferences, and the
dual-processing mind. Furthermore, the essays include different
philosophical insights into the genealogy of norms.
This book examines the fundamental issues in neuroscience from
methodological and philosophical perspectives. The reader will
learn about the methodological difficulties connected with the use
of neuroscientific experiments in philosophical argumentation and
about the nature of scientific explanation in neuroscience. In
addition, the book includes case studies of several issues lying at
the intersection of neuroscience and philosophy, such as theory of
mind, self-consciousness, self-deception, depression, and morality.
